{{Short description|none}} <!-- This short description is INTENTIONALLY "none" - please see WP:SDNONE before you consider changing it! -->
Wireless LAN (WLAN) channels are frequently accessed using [[IEEE 802.11]] protocols. Equipment that does so is sold mostly under the trademark [[Wi-Fi]]. Other equipment also accesses the same channels, such as [[Bluetooth]]. This wireless communications infrastructure uses the [[Engineering:Radio frequency|radio frequency]] (RF) spectrum.

The 802.11 standard provides several distinct radio frequency bands for use in Wi-Fi communications: 860/900&nbsp;MHz, 2.4&nbsp;GHz, 3.6&nbsp;GHz, 4.9&nbsp;GHz, 5&nbsp;GHz, 5.9&nbsp;GHz, 6&nbsp;GHz, 45&nbsp;GHz and 60&nbsp;GHz. Each range is divided into a multitude of channels. In the standards, channels are numbered at 5&nbsp;MHz spacing within a band (except in the 45/60&nbsp;GHz band, where they are 0.54/1.08/2.16&nbsp;GHz apart), and the number linearly relates to the centre frequency of the channel. Although channels are numbered at 5&nbsp;MHz spacing, transmitters generally occupy at least 20&nbsp;MHz, and standards allow for channels to be bonded together to form wider channels for faster throughput.

Countries apply their own regulations to allowable channels, allowed users and maximum power levels within these frequency ranges. The ISM band ranges are also often used.

==860/900 MHz (802.11ah)==
802.11ah operates in sub-gigahertz unlicensed bands. Each world region supports different sub-bands, and the channels number depends on the starting frequency on the sub-band it belongs to. Therefore there is no global channels numbering plan, and the channels numbers are incompatible between world regions (and even between sub-bands of a same world region).

The following sub-bands are defined in the 802.11ah specifications:

Interference happens when two networks try to operate in the same band, or when their bands overlap. The two modulation methods used have different characteristics of band usage and therefore occupy different widths:
* The DSSS method used by [[IEEE 802.11 (legacy mode)|legacy 802.11]] and 802.11b (and the 11b-compatible rates of 11g) use 22&nbsp;MHz of bandwidth. This is from the 11&nbsp;MHz chip rate used by the coding system. No guard band is prescribed;<ref>{{cite web |title=DSSS Frame Structure |url=https://rfmw.em.keysight.com/wireless/helpfiles/n7617/Content/Main/dsss_frame_structure.htm#Data_rate |website=rfmw.em.keysight.com |quote=Chip Rate  Mcps}}</ref> the channel definition provides 3&nbsp;MHz between 1, 6, and 11.
* The OFDM method used by 802.11a/b/g/n occupies a bandwidth of 16.25&nbsp;MHz. The nameplate bandwidth is set to be 20&nbsp;MHz, rounding up to a multiple of channel width and providing some [[Physics:Guard band|guard band]] for signal to  attenuation along the edge of the band.<ref>{{cite web |title=802.11 OFDM WLAN Overview |url=https://rfmw.em.keysight.com/wireless/helpfiles/89600b/webhelp/Subsystems/wlan-ofdm/Content/ofdm_80211-overview.htm |website=rfmw.em.keysight.com}}</ref> This guardband is mainly used to accommodate older routers with modem chipsets prone to full channel occupancy, as most modern Wi‑Fi modems are not prone to excessive channel occupancy.

While overlapping frequencies can be configured at a location and will usually work, it can cause interference resulting in slowdowns, sometimes severe, particularly in heavy use. Certain subsets of frequencies can be used simultaneously at any one location without interference (see diagrams for typical allocations). The consideration of spacing stems from both the basic bandwidth occupation (described above), which depends on the protocol, and from attenuation of interfering signals over distance. In the worst case, using every fourth or fifth channel by leaving three or four channels clear between used channels causes minimal interference, and narrower spacing still can be used at further distances.<ref name="compnetworking.about.com">{{cite web |url=https://compnetworking.about.com/od/wifihomenetworking/qt/wifichannel.htm |title=Choosing the right Wi-Fi channel can minimize wireless interference | website=compnetworking.about.com | access-date=5 June 2016}}</ref><ref name="adjacentchannels">{{Cite conference |last1=Garcia Villegas |first1=E. |title=Effect of adjacent-channel interference in IEEE 802.11 WLANs |conference=CrownCom 2007 |publisher=ICST & IEEE |year=2007 |url=https://upcommons.upc.edu/e-prints/bitstream/2117/1234/1/CrownCom07_CReady.pdf |display-authors=0 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720102658/https://upcommons.upc.edu/e-prints/bitstream/2117/1234/1/CrownCom07_CReady.pdf |archive-date=2011-07-20}}</ref> The "interference" is usually not actual bit-errors, but the wireless transmitters making space for each other.

As shown in the diagram, bonding two 20&nbsp;MHz channels to form a 40&nbsp;MHz channel is permitted in the 2.4&nbsp;GHz bands. These are generally referred to by the centres of the primary 20&nbsp;MHz channel and the adjacent secondary 20&nbsp;MHz channel (e.g. 1+5, 9+13, 13–9, 5–1). The primary 20&nbsp;MHz channel is used for signalling and backwards compatibility, the secondary is only used when sending data at full speed.

== 3.65 GHz (802.11y) ==
''Except where noted, all information taken from Annex J of IEEE 802.11y-2008''

This range is documented as only being allowed as a licensed band in the United States. However, not in the original specification, under newer frequency allocations from the FCC, it falls under the {{nowrap|3.55–3.7 GHz}} Citizens Broadband Radio Service band. This allows for unlicensed use, under Tier 3 GAA rules, provided that the user doesn't cause harmful interference to Incumbent Access users or Priority Access Licensees and accepts all interference from these users,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-12-16 |title=3.5 GHz Band Overview |url=https://www.fcc.gov/35-ghz-band-overview |access-date=2022-06-15 |website=Federal Communications Commission |language=en}}</ref> and also follows of all the technical requirements in CFR 47 Part 96 Subpart E.

A 40&nbsp;MHz band is available from 3655 to 3695&nbsp;MHz. It may be divided into eight 5&nbsp;MHz channels, four 10&nbsp;MHz channels, or two 20&nbsp;MHz channels, as follows:

In Japan starting in 2002, 100&nbsp;MHz of spectrum from 4900 to 5000&nbsp;MHz can be used for both indoor and outdoor connection once registered. Originally, another spectrum of 5030–5091&nbsp;MHz was also available for use, however, it has been re-purposed and cannot be used after 2017.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tele.soumu.go.jp/j/adm/system/trunk/wimax/5ghz/|title=5GHz帯無線アクセスシステム |website=総務省 電波利用ホームページ｜免許関係 |language=ja |trans-title=5GHz Band Wireless Access System |trans-website=Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Radio Usage }}</ref>

50&nbsp;MHz of spectrum from 4940 to 4990&nbsp;MHz (WLAN channels 20–26) are in use by public safety entities in the United States. Within this spectrum there are two non-overlapping channels allocated, each 20&nbsp;MHz wide. The most commonly used channels are 22 and 26.

=== Country-specific information ===

==== United States ====
Source:<ref>IEEE 802.11-2007 Annex J modified by amendments k, y and n.</ref>

In 2007, the FCC (United States) began requiring that devices operating in the bands of 5.250–5.350&nbsp;GHz and 5.470–5.725&nbsp;GHz must employ [[Dynamic frequency selection|dynamic frequency selection]] (DFS) and [[Power control#Transmit Power Control|transmit power control]] (TPC) capabilities. This is to avoid interference with weather-radar and military applications.<ref name="FCC2011">{{cite web|url=https://louise.hallikainen.org/FCC/FccRules/2011/15/407/|title=15.407 – General technical requirements|website=louise.hallikainen.org|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120323122829/https://louise.hallikainen.org/FCC/FccRules/2011/15/407/|archive-date=23 March 2012|access-date=2 August 2017}}</ref> In 2010, the FCC further clarified the use of channels in the 5.470–5.725&nbsp;GHz band to avoid interference with TDWR, a type of weather radar system.<ref name="FCC.DFS.Interim">{{cite web|url=https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/forms/FTSSearchResultPage.cfm?id=41732&switch=P|title=Publication Number: 443999 Rule Parts: 15E|date=14 August 2014|work=Federal Communications Commission|quote=Devices must be professionally installed when operating in the 5470 – 5725&nbsp;GHz band}}</ref> In FCC parlance, these restrictions are now referred to collectively as the ''Old Rules''. On 10 June 2015, the FCC approved a new ruleset for 5&nbsp;GHz device operation (called the ''New Rules''), which adds 160 and 80&nbsp;MHz channel identifiers, and re-enables previously prohibited DFS channels, in Publication Number 905462.<ref name="fcc-905462">{{cite web|url=https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/forms/FTSSearchResultPage.cfm?switch=P&id=27155|title=905462 15.401 UNII, U-NII, DFS Test Procedures|author=FCC Office of Engineering and Technology|website=apps.fcc.gov|access-date=8 August 2015}}</ref> This FCC publication eliminates the ability for manufacturers to have devices approved or modified under the Old Rules in phases; the New Rules apply in all circumstances {{as of|2016|06|02|lc=y|post=.}}<ref name="fcc-905462" />

Source:<ref>[https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-368228A1.pdf FCC Modernizes 5.9 GHz Band for Wi-Fi and AUTO SAFETY New Plan Makes Additional Spectrum Available Immediately for Improved Indoor Wi-Fi Connectivity While Authorizing Market-Driven Transportation Safety Services]</ref>
"To help meet the increasing demand for Wi-Fi and other unlicensed services, the FCC's new rules will make 45 megahertz of the 5.9&nbsp;GHz band available for unlicensed use. This spectrum's impact will be further amplified by the fact that it is adjacent to an existing Wi-Fi band which, when combined with the 45 megahertz made available today, will support cutting edge broadband applications. These high-throughput channels—up to 160 megahertz wide—will enable gigabit Wi-Fi connectivity for schools, hospitals, small businesses, and other consumers. The Report and Order adopts technical rules to enable full-power indoor unlicensed operations in the lower 45 megahertz portion of the band immediately, as well as opportunities for outdoor unlicensed use on a coordinated basis under certain circumstances. Under the new rules, ITS services will be required to vacate the lower 45 megahertz of the band within one year."

==== United Kingdom ====
The UK's Ofcom regulations for unlicensed use of the 5&nbsp;GHz band is similar to Europe, except that DFS is not required for the frequency range 5.725–5.850&nbsp;GHz and the SRD maximum mean e.i.r.p is 200&nbsp;mW instead of 25&nbsp;mW.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0028/84970/ir-2030.pdf |title=IR 2030 Licence Exempt Short Range Devices (April 2021) |access-date=8 December 2021}}</ref>

Additionally, 5.925–6.425&nbsp;GHz is also available for unlicensed use, as long as it is used indoors with an SRD of 250&nbsp;mW.

==== Germany ====
Germany requires DFS and TPC capabilities on 5.250–5.350&nbsp;GHz and 5.470–5.725&nbsp;GHz as well; in addition, the frequency range 5.150–5.350&nbsp;GHz is allowed only for indoor use, leaving only 5.470–5.725&nbsp;GHz for outdoor and indoor use.<ref name="Germany">{{cite web|url=https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/Sachgebiete/Telekommunikation/Unternehmen_Institutionen/Frequenzen/Allgemeinzuteilungen/2010_07_WLAN_5GHz_pdf.pdf?__blob=publicationFile|title=Bundesnetzagentur Vfg 7/2010 / See footnote 4 and 5 (German only)|access-date=2 August 2017}}</ref>

Since this is the German implementation of EU Rule 2005/513/EC, similar regulations must be expected throughout the European Union.<ref name="eur-lex1">{{cite web|url=https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32005D0513:EN:NOT|title=EUR-Lex – 32005D0513 – EN – EUR-Lex|website=eur-lex.europa.eu|access-date=5 June 2016}}</ref><ref name="eur-lex2">{{cite web|url=https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32007D0090:EN:NOT|title=EUR-Lex – 32007D0090 – EN – EUR-Lex|website=eur-lex.europa.eu|access-date=5 June 2016}}</ref>

''Note: Partial channels indicate channels that span UNII boundaries, which is permitted in 6&nbsp;GHz LPI operation. Under the proposed channel numbers, the U-NII-7/U-NII-8 boundary is spanned by channels 185 (20&nbsp;MHz), 187 (40&nbsp;MHz), 183 (80&nbsp;MHz), and 175 (160&nbsp;MHz). The U-NII-6/U-NII-7 boundary is spanned by channels 115 (40&nbsp;MHz), 119 (80&nbsp;MHz), and channel 111 (160&nbsp;MHz).''

For use in indoor environments, access points are limited to a maximum EIRP of 30&nbsp;dBm and a maximum power spectral density of 5&nbsp;dBm/MHz. They can operate in this mode on all four U-NII bands (5,6,7,8) without the use of automatic frequency coordination. To help ensure they are used only indoors, these types of access points are not permitted to be connectorized for external antennas, weather-resistant, or run on battery power.{{R|FCC-363490A1|p=41}}

==== Very-low-power devices ====
The FCC may issue a ruling in the future on a third class of very low power devices such as hotspots and short-range applications.

In November 2020, the Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) of Canada published "Consultation on the Technical and Policy Framework for Licence-Exempt Use in the 6&nbsp;GHz Band".<ref>{{cite web |title=Consultation on the Technical and Policy Framework for Licence-Exempt Use in the 6 GHz Band|url=https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf11643.html|website=ECC Newsletter |access-date=4 January 2022 |date=November 2020}}</ref> They proposed to allow licence-exempt operations in the 6&nbsp;GHz spectrum for three classes of radio local area networks (RLANs):

==== Standard power ====
For indoor and outdoor use. Maximum EIRP of 36&nbsp;dBm and maximum power spectral density (PSD) of 23&nbsp;dBm/MHz. Should employ Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) control.

==== Low-power indoor (LPI)====
